Description
Product Overview
The Caprock GPH212T5L/4 UV-C sterilizer lamp is engineered to deliver powerful germicidal performance in a compact, easy‑to‑install package. Featuring an 8‑watt fluorescent tube housed in a sturdy glass envelope, this lamp provides instant‑on illumination that effectively inactivates bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in both air and water streams. The lamp conforms to a G5 base, making it compatible with a wide range of purification units, and operates across a universal voltage range of 100‑240 V, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments.
Designed for indoor use, the lamp measures 0.63 inches in width and 8.3 inches in height, weighing just 5.3 ounces (0.15 kg), which simplifies handling and installation. Its construction utilizes high‑quality glass that resists thermal shock and prolongs lamp life, while the fluorescent light source delivers consistent UV‑C output without the need for frequent replacement. The instant‑on feature eliminates warm‑up delays, allowing purification systems to become operational immediately after power is applied.
Usage
This UV‑C lamp is ideally suited for a variety of air and water purification applications. In laboratory settings, it can be integrated into fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, and water treatment rigs to maintain sterile conditions and protect sensitive experiments from microbial contamination. Industrial facilities benefit from its ability to disinfect ventilation ducts, cooling towers, and water recirculation loops, thereby reducing the risk of biofilm formation and equipment fouling.
For residential users, the lamp can be installed in home water filtration systems, under‑sink purifiers, and countertop air cleaners, providing an extra layer of protection against pathogens in drinking water and indoor air. Its low power consumption (8 W) ensures energy efficiency, while the broad voltage compatibility allows deployment in regions with differing electrical standards.
Because the lamp operates without the need for batteries and features a corded electric power source, it delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance. The touch‑controlled interface on many compatible purifiers enables easy activation and monitoring, making it user‑friendly for both technical and non‑technical operators.

FAQ
What types of microorganisms does the UV‑C lamp inactivate?
The lamp emits UV‑C radiation at wavelengths that effectively damage the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and protozoa, rendering them unable to reproduce and causing rapid inactivation.
Can the lamp be used in both air and water purification systems?
Yes, the lamp is designed for dual‑purpose applications. Its UV‑C output is suitable for treating airborne pathogens in ventilation systems as well as microbial contaminants in water streams, making it a versatile component for comprehensive purification solutions.
How often does the lamp need to be replaced?
Under normal operating conditions, the lamp maintains effective UV‑C output for up to 9,000 hours of continuous use. Replacement intervals depend on usage intensity and environmental factors, but most users find a yearly replacement schedule sufficient for optimal performance.
Is the lamp safe to handle during installation?
While the lamp does not contain hazardous mercury, it does emit UV‑C radiation when powered. It is recommended to wear protective gloves and avoid direct eye exposure during installation. The lamp should be powered off and allowed to cool before handling.
What warranty does Caprock provide for this lamp?
Caprock offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and premature failure. The warranty includes technical assistance and, if necessary, a replacement lamp to ensure uninterrupted operation of your purification system.
